Dialogs and text input
By Daniel Aleksandersendaniel. Monday, August 30, 2010 7:15:00 PM

We have fixed the mail panel regression introduced with the previous snapshot, and improved on dialog modality on Mac. Mac users on older system will also find a very pleasant fix for ‘the slow typing issue.’ (Will be available in an upcoming Opera 10.62 update for the PowerPC crowd too.)
Known regressions
- DSK-311905 [Mac] (Text input can be slow with a large number of bookmarks)
- DSK-311564 [Windows] (The MSI installer may fail when upgrading an existing installation)
Download
Note: If you are looking for a PowerPC build, please see our previous blog post.
Changelog
Core
- CORE-30829 (Overlayed dialogs can be covered by plug-ins)
Cross-platform
- DSK-311417 (Crash on expanding items in the mail panel)
Mac
- DSK-305751 (More precise and faster menu updates)
- DSK-309866 (Visual tab pop-ups are displayed on hover even when not in foreground)
- DSK-309871 (Can become unresponsive when minimizing windows blocked by dialogs)
- DSK-309875 (Active dialogs is sometime sent to background)
- DSK-309897 (Speed dial configuration overlay does not always hide)
- DSK-310513 (Security dialog is missing tab edges)
- DSK-310906 (Blocking mail dialogs can block other blocking dialogs)

Sorry Daniel, I skip this one, because the classic installer is English only

MSI installer starts, and stops almost instantly saying that nothing was modified.

I'm having difficulty selecting text on this page. It seems to be specific to here. I can't click and drag to select text, but I can double-click to select blocks of text and use the Command-A shortcut to select all of it. Mac OS X 10.6 Opera 10.70 b9036.

PS: the developers should also take a look at the MSI start screen, there's some misplaced text [PLACEHOLDER still standing].

Will test the classic installer, and will share his opinion.

The action IsUpgradingOlderThan95() inside your custom DLL fails because of a hard crash here. It's caused by VerQueryValueA(..., "\\StringFileInfo\\040904E4\\ProductName", ...) not returning any value. When I looked at the installed Opera.exe from the previous build, it had StringFileInfo block for locale "040904B0" instead. After patching that during installation from "04E4" to "04B0", it ran fine.
Finally, the version info resource in the newly installed snapshot is 040904B0, so this nonsense will happen again with the next build. Unless someone fixes it, that is :P

So we can conclude that Opera no longer is supporting HTML5. What gives with this?

Unfortunately, it still crashes if you compose a new email, but change the sender to another one of your accounts

If so, just copy it from you're stable build

Same bug was present (and introduced) in the previous build, and this guy and this one had it too.
Any more info on this?

I could not find this option in the latest build.koimark # Monday, August 30, 2010 9:49:16 PM
